SHOPPING IN LISBON

SHOPPING IN LISBON

Portugal is a good place for shopping and the offer is quite good. Obviously, we have most international brands at better prices than in the UK. Zara, Mango and Massimo Dutti's prices in Portugal can be 40% lower.

It's worth checking out some Portuguese and Spanish brands which are not available everywhere and are particularly good:

- Labrador and Wesley (for men) - Labrador has a shop in Rua Braamcamp, near Marquês de Pombal, and another in Amoreiras Shopping Centre. Wesley has a shop outside Amoreiras Shopping Centre, one in Saldanha and another in Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre - Lanidor and Global (for women) - they are on most high streets and shopping centres, and both have flagships in Avenida da Liberdade - Adolfo Dominguez, Purificación Garcia and Carolina Herrera (for both men and women) - all 3 can be found of Avenida da Liberdade and at El Corte Inglés department store. Adolfo Dominguez has a shop in Saldanha's Atrim Saldanha Shopping Centre and Purificación Garcia has another shop in Saldanha Residence Shopping Centre.

Large Shopping Centres - Amoreiras Shopping Centre (in Amoreiras), best accessed by taxi - Vasco da Gama (in Parque das Nações), underground: Oriente (red line) - Colombo (Portugal's largest shopping centre), underground: Colégio Militar (blue line) - El Corte Inglés - Lisbon's only department store, underground: São Sebastião (blue line) - Freeport Designer Outlet - located in Alcochete, 30 minutes south of Lisbon. Easy to get to by car, but there is also a hotel shuttle service. Brands include Carolina Herrera, Purificación Garcia, Zegna, Burberrys, Versace, Adolfo Dominguez, Boss - as always, you need to be lucky on the day you go.

High Street Shopping - Avenida da Liberdade - where most designer shops are - Rua Augusta (in Baixa) - Rua do Carmo and Rua Garrett (Chiado area)
